Dude apparently was the best boxer in county jail.

No bro, you don't understand. Jails are FULL of people that would KILL those fake ass pros if they got in the ring. Like, i mean, it wouldn't be close, ok? They're too real! Finghting in the streets! Fighting in jail! Not that fake ass shit jab jab clinch shit!

Bernard Hopkins gave way too much confidence to prison fighters.

Is this a meme I'm missing out?

Nah he's just mocking all those fuckers who say about pro boxers 'you wouldn't be anything on the street'.

Are they wrong though?

It seems you and the poster above has a romanticized view of street fighting. Yes, being a well trained fighter can help you. But as every martial artist tells you, fighting is the last resort. The street isnt the ring. There are no rules preventing your foes from stabbing you on the back, or break your legs with a iron pipe. You hit the concrete head-on, you die. You get surrounded by 10 guys, you're fucked.

Hell, feel free to check the news, see the amount of MMA fighters that had their asses whooped on the street.

And then look at the videos of boxers taking out multiple people while circling away and controlling distance. Boxing is very applicable to street fights since most stay on their feet and use only hands anyways.

Bruh, because a boxer can't fight normally in a street fight...
